Don’t Loose Stripes

[Intro: Ghetts & Lightning]
Hahahahaha
Wagwan, people, it's Lightnin and Ghetto
Young and older collaboration
(Bap, bap, bap) Never heard this before, this is the first
The only time we're gonna do this but we're the first to do it (The first, yeah?)
Know what's going on
2000 & Life
Hold tight Rapid
Big, this one's moving, still
Just know what's going on

[Bridge 1: Lightnin & Ghetts]
My name's Lightnin, Ghetto's my older
Recognise we're real, you bredders are over
My name's Ghetto, Lightning's my younger
And we won't hit with icing in under
Fuck rising thunder
I've seen your girl, no thighs or bumper
And them I'm like [?], would you wonder?
If I'm on a left, go right because I'll cut ya
We tried to be humble
But you don't know what it's like in the jungle
Shank that boy with a knife and the rumbles spurt
I don't wanna get life like my uncle
Look, let me be truthful
This ain't the kind of combination you need [?]
Old school / new school, now it's [?]
My flavour's far from the usual
But we must work hard, it's crucial
And I want more than Prada and Newport
But Lightnin, life's too short
And frighting when you're the [?]
Still, I'm back and firing
And you thought that I'll be back on a quiet thing, you thought
We don't give a shit what you thought
You talk but we don't care what you say

[Chorus: Ghetts]
If you don't wanna lose stripes, then move right
Because I'm looking to eat
And I don't mean leftovers, I'ma food fight
All my bookings are neat
I don't wanna get older and still have to do crime
And be put in the bing
I just wanna get food up and
"Hey Ghetto, will you sign? We want you in our team"

[Verse 1: Ghetts]
You wanna send for me, you're not saying
Don't aim at your embassy, we're hot flames
Don't claim or pretend to be, I'm not fake
Got game, might end your team when I rush stage
Whether I'm on or off stage, I've been the same
You pricks wanna put on the act slow
But it's screw face, then put on the hat
That don't mean that you won't get put in your back
I know you are shook as a cat
Don't talk like you're pulling a strap
Because if you ain't got heart, what good is a gat?
I'm real, you can never say I'm filled up with crap
No, I'm from a hood where
Even the homeboys wanna cook up a plan
To put you in hands of niggas that looking for grands
For less than a [?] in your [?]
If only you could understand
I was on the roads when your mum was pushing your pram
And you was on bus, I was pushing my gyals
No word of a lie but then I never heard of you guys
Until I got chucked with a can
I'm raw like crack but you're cooked in a pan
Look, I'm a crook, got moots in the van
No doubt, you'll get butchered with [?]

[Verse 2: Lightnin]
Lights, damn right, that's my name
Only care about P's, fuck fame
Youngers said I've been [?], fuck James
I'll lick your head down from a long range
You can hear what I said now, from a long range
Bowcat, you are, no, I ain't
I suggest you do what I say
Or I may, lord have faith

[Verse 3: Ghetts]
Bare MCs have got war in the tongue
But there can never be a bid, there's no war in the slum
They can never held no sword or a gun
They've all have been bored
Them boy, they only war
They know I must be bored of the drum
I'm sick and I ain't got a [?] for me, don
Whoever told you the work ain't fun
I bet they can't wait till the working's done

[Bridge 2: Lightnin] x2
They should calm down
Otherwise, they will palmed down
And I'll knock their arms down
Get dry African palmed down

[Verse 4: Ghetts]
In Plaistow, you'll get wetted like bath [?]
I bet you're an asshole
Even with a weapon
I'll reckon your will get split like a melon in fast mode
Lightnin, tell 'em my heart's cold

[Verse 5: Lightnin]
Yeah, we're from Plaistow where we blast those
Who think they're big boys but they're assholes
Stacked up my jeans like 25-0
Slam, [?]
That's what you get when you mess with the best
Nothing that's nice, nah, juk till your [?]'s out
Like they don't give a fuck about feds

[Verse 6: Ghetts]
I got too much lyrical [?]
The key to me having money's stacking [?]
Thought I was keeping a low profile out
No, I would knock down for a while
I'm just trying to live life to the fullest
My niggas on the stop, we providing bullets
I will not have it, hide, or be bullets
I'll draw for the MAC-9 and keep pulling
In the casket, half a knife, I'll put him
I'll put him in a casket and rhyme with women
Yeah, she might be the goodest
But it's not likely I couldn't

[Outro]
Hate to say I told you so, yeah
Big up Lightnin, yeah? Look out for Lightnin in the future, know what's going on
Big up the rest of the youngers, yeah?
Hold tight Rapid, once again
Yeah
